Top African destinations for the super rich
A new report by New World Wealth shows which countries on the African continent played host to the most foreign multi-millionaires in 2015.
Multi-millionaires refer to individuals with net assets of US$10 million or more.
Africa received approximately 43,000 multi-millionaire visitors in the 12 months to September 2015, the group said, with South Africa being the most popular destination on the continent.
